Hi…
The text range of an element includes the open element tag (but not the
end, I think), so when you add text at the tr.beg location, it’s
probably being added just *before* the footnote element. To move the
insertion point into the element do a .. tr.beg.offset++ .. before using
tr.beg. However, that will just get the new text into the footnote ..
you’ll have duplicated text, since you need to delete the old text (with
F_ApiDeleteText) before inserting the new. When you use F_ApiDeleteText,
be sure your tr doesn’t include the begin or end element tags. Also,
keep in mind that your tis is just the “FTI_String” items .. it’s
possible that your tr could include other objects like markers, so
you’ll need to use care when deleting text.
I think a better approach might be to just delete the leading spaces
from the text rather than deleting and replacing the whole string
(although, this could probably be argued one way or the other). Just
count the number of spaces at the beginning of the element (while
checking for other objects), then set the tr.beg.offset and the
tr.end.offset so it wraps just the leading spaces, and delete.
Good luck.
